The Routledge Handbook of Arabic Poetry

The Routledge Handbook of Arabic Poetry

Comprised of contributions from leading international scholars The Routledge Handbook of Arabic Poetry incorporates political cultural and theoretical paradigms that help place poetic projects in their socio-political contexts as well as illuminate connections across the continuum of the Arabic tradition. This volume grounds itself in the present moment and from it examines the transformations of the fifteen-century Arabic poetic tradition through readings re-readings translations reformulations and co-optations. Furthermore this collection aims to deconstruct the artificial modern/pre-modern divide and to present the Arabic poetic practice as live and urgent shaped by the experiences and challenges of the twenty-first century and at the same time in constant conversation with its long tradition. The Routledge Handbook of Arabic Poetry actively seeks to destabilize binaries such as that of East-West in contributions that shed light on the interactions of the Arabic tradition with other Middle Eastern traditions such as Persian Turkish and Hebrew and on South-South ideological and poetic networks of solidarity that have informed poetic currents across the modern Middle East. This volume will be ideal for scholars and students of Arabic Middle Eastern and comparative literature as well as non-specialists interested in poetry and in the present moment of the study of Arabic poetry.

Competing Discourses Perspective and Ideology in Language

Competing Discourses Perspective and Ideology in Language

This book discusses and explores the relationship between language and world view. David Lee presents recent research in linguistics drawing together strands from a number of different areas of the subject: the nature of linguistic and conceptual categories the role of metaphor in the everyday use of language gender differentiation and social variation in speech. In this study David Lee considers a broad range of issues in the light of two contrasting views on language. For much of its history linguistics has been dominated by a tradition which sees individual languages as uniform homogenous systems. However there has always been an opposite view emphasising the complex tensions and cross-currents inherent in linguistic usage. This alternative perspective is explored in the analysis of a wide range of literary and non-literary texts: casual conversations interviews newspaper reports official memoranda television commercials and extracts from novels. The author describes how both spoken and written texts can be seen as the sites where tensions between competing discourses stemming from different social positions and perspectives are illustrated. | Competing Discourses Perspective and Ideology in Language

Apocalypse Now? Reflections on Faith in a Time of Terror

Apocalypse Now? Reflections on Faith in a Time of Terror

How may people of faith respond wisely constructively and courageously to the challenges of a time of terror? How might religious reasons in public debate be a force for reconciliation rather than violence and hatred? In a world in which religious arguments and religious motivations play such a huge public role there is an urgent responsibility for interpreting what is happening and engaging with religious views which are commonly regarded as alien threatening or dangerous. In Apocalypse Now? Duncan Forrester argues that disorders and atrocities which include the Gulag the Holocaust 9/11 the Afghanistan and Iraq wars and the Tsunami disaster have shown us that we stand not at the end of history but in the midst of an apocalyptic age of terror which has striking similarities to the time in which Christianity was born. Moving between two times of terror - the early Centuries of Christianity and today - Forrester asks how religious motivations can play a positive role in the midst of conflicts and disasters. Reading the 'signs of the times' to try to understand what is happening in today's age of terror Forrester argues that there are huge resources in the Christian tradition that can be productively deployed for a more constructive and faithful response. We are at a turning point - this is a book which should be read. | Apocalypse Now? Reflections on Faith in a Time of Terror

Fairy-Tale Revivals in the Long Nineteenth Century

Fairy-Tale Revivals in the Long Nineteenth Century

This two-volume collection includes fairy tales produced by African American Caribbean Irish and other marginalized authors in the Anglophone world. These tales are a part of the expanding cartographies of the fairy-tale world during the long nineteenth-century. While new collections devoted to emerging minority writers include some new and exciting fairy tales this collection is particularly interested in demonstrating the historic nature of this tradition. Minority writers have been creating fairy tales alongside mainstream authors since the golden age of the fairy tales. Many of these stories have been overlooked because they are embedded in a range of literary genres including novels dramas poems and lyrics. This collection mines these fairy tales and makes out-of-print or otherwise relatively inaccessible marginalized fairy tales available to a new generation of scholars. Fairy Tales from the Margins is essential to moving fairy-tale studies beyond its current boundaries which also limit the field’s current theories and ideologies. While some written collections are beginning to include fairy tales by historically marginalized writers there are no collections dedicated to the fairy tales produced by marginalized writers or people of color particularly during the nineteenth century. And there are no online collections of these distinctive fairy tales. This collection breaks new ground in the field of fairy-tale studies and will allow scholars and researchers to engage with issues that are becoming urgent in an era of rising racial tensions. This study expands upon the long-standing connections between Scottish Welsh Irish African American and Caribbean revival movements demonstrating the ways fairy tales are incorporated into earlier forms of ethnic protest literature. This collection is divided by tale types to demonstrate the wide range of responses to a single tale or group of fairy tales. These divisions rely loosely on the traditional Aarne-Thompson-Uther classification system. Although these tales are primarily written by own-voice authors a few out-of-print collections of recorded oral tales are also included to demonstrate the longevity of these tales outside mainstream traditions where print traditions are not available. | Fairy-Tale Revivals in the Long Nineteenth Century

The Routledge Companion to Architectural Pedagogies of the Global South

The Routledge Companion to Architectural Pedagogies of the Global South

The established canon of architectural pedagogy has been predominantly produced within the Northern hemisphere and transposed – or imposed – across schools within the Global South more often with scant regard for social economic political or ecological culture and context nor regional or indigenous pedagogic principles and practices. Throughout the Global South architecture’s academic community has been deeply affected by this regime how it shapes and influences proto-professionals and by implication architectural processes and outcomes too. The Routledge Companion to Architectural Pedagogies of the Global South resituates and recenters an array of pedagogic approaches that are either produced or proliferate from the ‘Global South’ while antagonizing the linguistic epistemological and disciplinary conceits that under imperialist imperatives ensured that these pedagogies remained maligned or marginalized. The book maintains that the exclusionary implications of architectural notions of the ‘orders’ the ‘canon’ and the ‘core’ have served to constrain and to calcify its contents and in doing so imperiled its relevance and impact. In contrast this companion of pedagogic approaches serves to evidence that architecture’s academic and professional advancement is wholly contingent on its ability to fully engage in an additive and inclusive process whereby the necessary disruptions that occur when marginalized knowledge confronts established knowledge result in a catalytical transformation through which new co-created knowledge can emerge. Notions of tradition identity modernity vernacularism post-colonialism poverty migration social and spatial justice climate apartheid globalization ethical standards and international partnerships are key considerations in the context of the Global South. How these issues originate and evolve within architectural schools and curricula and how they act as drivers across all curricula activities are some of the important themes that the contributors interrogate and debate. With more than 30 contributions from 55 authors from diverse regional racial ethnic gender and cultural backgrounds this companion is structured in four sections that capture critique and catalog multifarious marginalized pedagogical approaches to provide educators and students with an essential source book of navigational steers core contestations propositional tactics and reimagined rubrics. The Routledge Companion to Architectural Pedagogies of the Global South pioneers a transposable strategy for academics from all disciplines looking to adopt a tested approach to decolonizing the curriculum. It is only through a process of destabilizing the hegemonic epistemological and disciplinary frameworks that have long-prescribed architecture’s pedagogies that the possibility of more inclusive representative and relevant pedagogical practices can emerge.
